Mod Monday- Mod Men Party

Happy Halloween!! I thought that it was only appropriate to post a themed party today, in case you are struggling for last minute ideas.
A few months ago, with the help from a few friends (thank you Gregg Lovell and Eric Bivins for your house and styling help and The Dallas Smoke group for your spot-on character cast) we put together a really fun Mod Men themed party for soon to debut online magazine DeerDallas. The lovely and very talented Rachael Laine (founder of DeerDallas) photographed the entire thing.

 

There was decade appropriate food, drinks, and music:: Cuba Libre, French 75 and Classic Martini for drinks. Meatballs, Cheese plate and crudites for food. Music, set your Pandora station to your favorite 60's or 50's group and let it play!

You can Check out more photos over on the DeerDallas Facebook page. Be sure to "like" them while you are at it!!

This party is totally usable not during Halloween... Perhaps an upcoming Mad Men premiere?!

I am officially OBSESSED... with Pinterest

Yes, I know, I am late to the game... but it has been really fun pulling together a wedding inspiration board!
you can follow my board here: erin's wed inspiration board

yesssss.... iPad ordered

And I loooove the free engraving feature. With my luck, this will be VERY helpful. I got the blue smartcover, in case you wanted to know. (predictable, right?)

RUE!

I finally had time to sit down and go through this month's RUEmag. It has some serious eye candy! Especially the Darko Weirdo dinner party. I love the ferny, creepy, dead animal awesomeness. But mostly the rock and roll thrifty-ness of the party. Check it our if you haven't beat me to it!

Groovy Crayons

Super cute owl crayons have gone on my gift list for little ones. See some other rad crayon iterations over on Furious Shirley. And speaking of Furious Shirley.... Thanks to Shannon for posting my antler jewelry organization!

all that glitters

I am LOVInG this online Gift mag by Creature Comforts. Especially all of the white/gold magic that is going on. I have argued that gold is coming back for a long time my friends, and I think it is here. Gold is fresh and delightful with the white. I'll share my own little gift guide later.

Here are a few other gold/white inspirations:

Lonny Love

A friend at work introduced me to Lonnymag about 6 months ago, and I am sooo glad she did. I look forward to the new issue every month. Endless inspiration and lovely interiors and really fun personal items. Lonny posted this etsy shop SpinThread with a really fun necklace, but I really love EVERYTHING in this shop especially the necklace above. It is pretty spectacular.

so... check out Lonny and SpinThread. they rock!
